  1. I got mine done at Premier Automotive in Mitchell, but it was totaly stock...
  2. No probs mate. Might see ya out tonight then ay? I'm on call again, so I'll be sober and driving around... so I'll come out for a peek
  3. yeah mate i could give ya a lift if ya still need it
  4. spotted a blue R34 GTR with a mashed front end in a yard in fyshwick! poor thing... I want it.
  5. putt putt it terrible... its gotta be at least pitch and putt spuin i cant go... but I'll be thinking of you guys playing poor little pitch and putt, restricted by greens and fences... I'll be at the coast playing one of the most respected golf courses around!!! It's called the "Durras Links", established in 2006 (by a very drunk me and a group of mates one sunny arvo), and situated on the lake of North Durras. At low tide Islands of sand protrude out of the lake, players take turns in walking in a direction/swimming accros the water to create the next hole. The person who loses the previous hole has to carry the eski to the next green/sand. The only clubs allowed on course are rusty sand/pitching wedges. Oh and if ya hit the ball into the lake ya have to dive in and get it out befor it gets swept out to the ocean... Seriously its the funnest golf I have ever played.!!!
  6. after all is said and done, You would still be trading a skyline for a yaris... just saying...
  7. Yup great cruise fellas! Finaly found the G spot lol
  8. saw a yellow 34 with NSW plates following me in the van in fyshwick. It had different wheels on the front to on the back.
  9. I still think that getting a good 2400W inverter and pumping 240v out of the steering wheel and grounded through the gear stick, after the alarm has been activated of course...! that'll make sure they get a fking good jolt right through the heart! certainly wont be trying to steal another car anytime soon...
  10. bugger cant make it. I'll try make the next one
  11. Think I'll pass on the trivia, but I'll head out if anyone else does.

  13. No for 17th!!! 30/31 oct works for me preferably the 31st, being a saturday can start drinking at golf then continue through till stonefest!!
  14. lets call it pitch and putt then!!! ya can still smash the ball... ya just have to use an open faced club, a sand wedge!!! MMM Open Faced Club Sandwhich (drool) hahahaha
  15. I got very amused after watching Top Gear and seeing them play around with the G-Force meters in the GTR's. The 34 and 35 has them i think... And being a Poor bastard and not able to afford a R34 (or 35) GTR... I decided to make one... You start with at least a 2-axis accelerometer, I got this one off Ebay http://cgi.ebay.com.au/3-Axis-low-g-Accele...p3286.m63.l1177 combine that with an Atmel ATMega8535 (or similar) microprocessor, A few LED's, A 5v regulator, a bunch of carefully chosen resistors, Some wire and some solder... I used some rods of tinted perspex (machined, filed and sanded) to hide the LED's behind the dash. (looks quite nice) Also plenty of patience... With a bit of know how, solder it all onto a prototype board connecting the correct wires to the correct pins Then write a nice program into the microprocessor, it took a few goes it eliminate the effects of bumps around corners distorting the reading too much. Mine has 7 LED's on each side of the center red LED. 3 blue, 2 green, then 2 red. it is calibrated to read 1 lateral G as 1 red light coming on... Greater then 1.5 Gs brings on all lights. So if ya turn right really hard and sharp, ya get 3 blue, 2 green and 1 red light shooting out to the left of the guage... each light represents 0.15G (with the first blue light only coming on at 0.3G). I also installed a switch and used the second Axis of the Accelerometer to measure Acceleration and braking G's. Braking displayed on the right, and acceleration displayed on the left. They say i have too much time on my hands... I Tried to get a pic of it while its displaying a reading... but its too many things to do with one person Also I have read somewhere that using a phone while driving is illegal... If anyone has a GTR and looks at the G-Force readings I'd be interested to know what sort of readings ya get out of a factory one and compare them...
  16. make it not on the october long weekend (the 3rd), or the 10th or the 17th or the 18th. lol. and I'll be keen.
  17. could combhine the 2 and play 9 real holes of golf... get to smash the ball, let some agro out... until it starts slicing into the trees... then ya get that agro back for the next hole
  18. Yeah mate, sounds like a good day! I'm in
